In this engaging episode of The Thriving Christian Artist Podcast, I talk with multi-talented Canadian creative Rob Dinwoodie—a visual artist, musician, and entrepreneur whose life blends artistry, faith, and purpose. 

From his roots in British Columbia to his work as a performer and creator, Rob shares how he’s embraced creativity as a lifelong pursuit without letting the pressure of monetization steal the joy.

We discuss the value of formative years spent honing your craft, the freedom that comes from knowing your identity in Christ, and the importance of maintaining a playful, authentic spirit in your work. Whether through his art, music, or community presence, Rob’s story is a reminder that creativity flows best when it’s rooted in purpose and joy.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why embracing the process matters more than rushing to monetize your art
• How to keep joy and authenticity at the center of your creative life
• The value of freedom and play in artistic expression
• Lessons from combining multiple creative disciplines
• Staying grounded in your identity in Christ as an artist
